Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado ended his MX2 career with a perfect day in Shanghai, China with 1-1 results. Second overall was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle with 3-2 results and third HRC Team rider Calvin Vlaanderen 2-4.

"Yes,"Prado said. "It was a good way to finish my MX2 career. I didn’t find my flow today and it is part of the process and we are getting better. Thanks to all the team and everyone who helps me. It was an incredible season so many race wins and Grand Prix wins, and it is exciting to move to the MXGP class, and we will work hard for that."

Prado led the second MX2 race with Vialle second, and Geerts third. Just behind Geerts was Olsen and Moreau, while Vlaanderen was back in sixth place. After a lap the lead by one and a half seconds as Prado continued to lead from Vialle. Geerts held third, Olsen fourth and Vlaanderen fifth. 

Four laps in and Prado wasn’t pushing too hard as the lead was still just over a second, with Vialle second, Geerts third, Olsen fourth and Renaux moved into fifth. After seven laps it was Prado leading by two seconds, and Vialle a further three seconds ahead of third placed man Geerts. Olsen was fourth and Vlaanderen in fifth. 

Vialle started closing up on Prado as the two KTM riders controlled the race up front, and in third was Geerts. Vlaanderen passed Renaux, as did Van De Moosdijk, making the top six Prado, Vialle, Geerts, Olsen, Vlaanderen and Van De Moosdijk. On lap four Vlaanderen passed Olsen but was seven seconds behind third placed Geerts with three or four laps remaining. 

Suddenly Vialle was all over Prado for the lead and the GP wins, as the two teenagers fought for the victory. Prado got the win from Vialle and Geerts.
